How tap manufacturers like BAER produce tools for thread machining

As a tap manufacturer, we would like to familiarise you with the manufacturing process of our tools. It all starts with the materials used. As a tap manufacturer, we pay particular attention to quality here. If a tap manufacturer uses inferior steel, there is always a risk that both the thread and the drill will be damaged during thread machining and will not have the desired service life.

This is why we only use the best high-performance high-speed steels. In this material group, tap manufacturers will find particularly hard steels that are heat-resistant and have outstanding cutting properties. These alloys provide the perfect basis for a long tool life. After all, you should be able to rely on the quality of our thread machining products in the long term.

The tap manufacturer produces a blank from the steel, which is initially still soft. In a special hardening process, the blank is hardened and alternately heated and cooled. Tap manufacturers refer to this step as tempering. This ensures the special hardness of the later drill and makes the hardness structure homogeneous. The tap manufacturer then grinds the mould. The grooves, the chamfer and the thread itself are machined precisely using state-of-the-art machines. Great care is required here, as this is literally work in the micrometre range. The surface of the tap and the machining of the cutting edges are particularly important.

The finished tap is then sent to our state-of-the-art warehouse. We have over 10,000 different tools and thread inserts in stock for you at all times. At BAER, you order directly from the tap manufacturer. This means you can always rely on our high stock availability and short delivery times. This means you always have the tool you need for thread machining quickly.

At the tap manufacturer BAER, we manufacture various types of taps

As a tap manufacturer, we have taps in a wide variety of designs in our online shop. But what are the actual differences between the tools for thread machining? We bring light into the darkness!

As a tap manufacturer, we make a basic distinction between hand taps and machine taps. Although these two types are similar in design, they are used differently. Hand screw tap are suitable for manual use. They are usually offered by tap manufacturers in sets of three taps, which are used in a specific sequence for thread machining.

machine screw tap can only be used with one machine. These are often so-called short machine tap. This means that the entire thread can be cut in one work step with these taps. Machine screw tap enable the rapid cutting of many threads in a short time, which is why they are usually produced by tap manufacturers for the industrial sector.

Whether produced by the tap manufacturer for manual use or for the machine, all taps have a shank and a head. Further details can be seen from the head shape. For example, you can see here whether the tap is suitable for a blind hole or a through hole. However, the most important feature for tap manufacturers is the serrated profile, which is mainly responsible for the tapping process. Tap manufacturers refer to the pitch as the distance between the two tips of a tooth. The angle between the teeth is the flank angle. All of these attributes together define the thread type for tap manufacturers.

The attributes thread type is specified for all tap manufacturers and is standardised according to international standards. This guarantees that tools of the same standard are used for thread dimensions in all industrial applications, regardless of the location and tap manufacturer. As a tap manufacturer, we take our task of following the standards down to the smallest detail very seriously. We see ourselves as an internationally active tap manufacturer. Our range includes not only the usual European standards, but also many other globally recognised standards and special shapes.
